For sale is a very well preserved 1988 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer 4x4 with the “S-10 Sport” Package. It has the 4.3 liter V6 fuel injected engine with automatic transmission. There are 276k miles on the car, though it doesn’t show it one bit. The engine runs strong with no smoke or problems. Automatic transmision shifts smoothly as it should. This blazer started out its life as being driven by a traveling salesman for approximately 8 years. 273k miles were put on it during that time. Then it was retired and stored inside for the next 17 years. Prior to storage, it had major mechanical work done, along with brand new paint job by Green Chevrolet, a local Chevy dealer. The car dealer (who had bought it from the original owner) said the owner had dumped over 7 grand into bringing it back to life. Unfortunately, I do not have any receipts concerning all the work it had done in the past. I even asked my trusted mechanic who has 35 years experience and he could tell me that it had a considerable amount of work done in the past. The paint was very well done and along with that, the undercarriage was undercoated. Fast forward 17 years later... I noticed it being for sale in a local auto trader catalog and went to look at it. I was immediately amazed how great it ran and how stunning it looked. There is no rust and the interior is immaculate as well, near perfect and completely stock; all down to the original floor mats and radio. All seats are in perfect shape, with no rips, tears or stains. The carpet is also stain free and in excellent shape. It has power locks and windows which all work. This blazer has been well maintained all of its life and that’s why it is in such good shape today. 4x4 works great. The tires are in great shape and have lots of tread left. I had just put a NOS Blazer tire cover on the back which looks great. This is one of the few remaining blazers that is mechanically sound and isn't missing the lower 6 inches. I'm not trying to make anything on this car, just get what I have in it. I just want someone to appreciate it for what it is; they don't make cars like this anymore. Email with any questions.  FYI...I am a 17 year old boy who just discovered speed, this car, although amazing, no longer fits my needs.  Thanks for reading.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
